When you realize that the brouchure's description of "a friendly and atmospheric ship" actually translates as "small and crowded"!

Fred Olsen's 'Black watch'. A four star ship which operates from Dover, UK. I don't think we can blame the cruise line.

It has been established that the outbreak of gastro-enteritis on this shipis due to a virus and NOT food poisening. When the ship reaches port it will be 'fumigated'.

A Disney ship had a similar problem earlier in the year. Viruses love ships, they have a captive audience!
